An experience famous for pushing NT to the edge. So I'm wondering how other ND parents found the first few months & years of having a child?My son turns 6 months old this Saturday and, he is amazing, but after navigating the birth in a pandemic and remaining supportive to my partner throughout, I find myself to be a stressed out, overworked, overwhelmed, bag of mess each day now. I feel like I never spend time alone anymore to recharge and often meltdown in various ways, constant migraines and flare-ups of sensitivities in the process.Will it get easier? Or are we not really built for this journey?
The first 6 months were the worst as it was a constant rollercoster of exhaustion. Plus adjusting to real food was stressful. BLW made it easier as preparation of mush was not something I wanted to do. And now every time there's a big routine change, like dropping a nap, it throws me out. But otherwise, I love being a stay a home mum. My little one is the best special interest I can imagine.
